Comment (by mcs):
Using different MAR channel IDs would prevent the updater from accepting a
mar file from a different channel (probably better from a security point
of view). If I remember correctly, doing so would also prevent use of MAR
tools such as `signmar` across releases. That would probably be OK, but
might lead to some confusion for developers.
If we do switch the MAR channel for in our alpha series we need to think
about how to make the transition. I believe that such a transition will
require a "watershed" update, but I have not spent a lot of time thinking
about it.
